Proud of our secret service

I reworded colonies to colonial influence in my original post, as I felt it more accurate.

Not really as it has its own republic. Like all countries in pink

However it’s influence is still huge. If their monarch is in your money out their flag is in yours there is s bit more to it than a decolonised entity.

It’s the one country with most remaining colonial influence. Look up the British Commonwealth.

Which was because Israel attacked, which was because the arab countries attacked, which was because Britain decided to put Israel in Palestine.

So basically all parties should attack Britain

I’m sure Norway can do better and find a way to fit Costa Rica in.

If they all as one dollar to the pot they could buy one house

Speak for yourself ;p

No because the writer(s) are clearly on drugs. At least that’s the only way to explain that shit.

It’s the color of their paper:

When the FT started out, newspapers were black and white. But in 1893 – five years after the FT was founded – we began to publish the paper in a light salmon colour, to stand apart from competitors on the newsstand, and reduce costs by using unbleached recycled paper.

I didn’t defend anybody. You don’t get to put words in my mouth like that.

Whoa that escalated quickly, and is entirely not about what I was saying.

I’ll answer in Dutch, if you have trouble parsing it I’ll clarify

Pik is een woord dat meerdere lagen heeft.

Het kan een pikhouweel (pickaxe) betekenen, maar vaker wordt het gebruikt als vulgair woord voor penis.

Het is inmiddels een amicale term die mannen onder elkaar gebruiken.

Sorry if I misgendered you, btw, it’s really endearment tbh

I understand that it merits discussion but every thread on this post is about that aspect, and that’s frankly a bit much.

Goed bezig, pik

Putting the loo back in looting, am I right?

I’m not one to pointlessly gender things, but in this case I feel it matters a lot.

That’s the pencil for writing on the ceiling, you dummy

His point is that is not what the article is about. It’s off-topic.

I get that you’re passionate about getting your point across but it’s swamping the discussion a bit.

Glad to spend my tax this way.
